Local SEO

Getting into Google Maps is easy – making sure your business is prominently visible within local map results is hard.

…but not as tough as you think.

The first step is to brainstorm a few words or phrases people might associate with your business. Put yourself in the prospective client’s shoes. Think about the words a client or customer might use when researching the services or products your company provides.  As a headstart, if you can answer these questions, you’re well on you’re way to optimizing for local search:

• What is my industry or business generally classified as? example: Corporate BBQ company providing cookouts for companies = “catering service”
• What are ten words or phrases someone searching on google or yahoo might use to find your services or products?
• Do you belong to any organizations or work with anyone who has an established web presence? How might people locate them online?
• How might someone search for your business locally? example: “Miami Catering Services”, “Denver Car Wash” , “Baltimore Limo service”
• How might someone search and find your competitors online? What words would they use?

Leveraging local search can be a tremendously effective way to naturally and consistently earn more business from the web.  But the equation for local search success is constantly changing – and it comes down to maximizing far more than just your Google Maps listing.
